Ramandeep Singh's half-century couldn't save India A from a 20-run loss to Afghanistan A in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup T20 semifinal held in Al Amerat, Oman, on Friday. Afghanistan A will now face Sri Lanka A in the final.
Afghanistan A chose to bat first and posted 206/4, the highest total in the tournament. This was made possible by a strong 137-run opening partnership between Sediqullah Atal, who scored 83 off 52 balls, and Zubaid Akbari, who made 64 off 41 balls.
